I was rear ended by an 18-wheeler on Oct 18, 2008 and I hired attorney Mike Grossman to represent me. Mike Grossman answered my call and got everything worked out, and it has been a pleasurable experience.

Texas Personal Injury Lawsuits

Below, you will read about the 3 most important components to building a strong personal injury lawsuit

When filing a personal injury lawsuit, it can be useful to attempt to gauge whether or not you have a strong case. A strong personal injury case must have three qualities:

  • Damages - Another person must be responsible (directly or indirectly) for some accident
  • Liability - The accident must have caused you some harm (physical injury, financial loss, or damage to your property).
  • Solvent Defendant - The liable party must have the means to financially compensate you.

Essentially, this means that without these three qualities, your lawsuit will likely not be successful. For instance, if a negligent individual causes you some serious harm but has no money with which to compensate you, you do not have a strong case. On the other hand, if a negligent individual with plenty of money causes an accident that does not cause you any harm, you do not have a strong case.

If you have suffered some wrong due to another person’s negligence, the Houston personal injury attorneys at Grossman Law Offices can help. We can determine whether or not you have a strong case. If you do not, we can help you develop one. Many personal injury lawsuits involve multiple potential defendants and a number of avenues for seeking financial compensation. An experienced attorney can identify exactly how your case needs to be constructed in order to be successful. Our Texas attorneys have been building personal injury lawsuits of all types for twenty years and we know how to overcome the many legal challenges you may face during this process. If you or someone you love has been hurt by another person’s negligence, contact the Houston personal injury attorneys at Grossman Law Offices and make sure you get the compensation you need.
